I have Da_G's kernal and rooted and with rogers right now. Rest everything is stock.
Can someone please explain to me how am I suppose to get recovery on it??

I tried clicking reboot into recovery from ROM manager even that doesn't work rather gets me stuck in boot loop.

All of a sudden,
My Galaxy s2 got f*cked up some sort of way,
when i am on stock fw, and flashing codework's CWM 5.0.2.3 through odin -> PDA the phone wont boot normally, stuck at triangle, it wont even boot to CWM but instead it goes into bootloops again until the traingle screen...
so i flashed cf-root kk2 all is fine and it boots normally + to cwm if i press the combo.....BUT!
when i want to flash a custom rom (CM,Miui, other roms)
it installs just fine, but when i reboot, again stuck @ traingle screen and no way to get back into recovery!
download mode works fine, i can only flash official/leaked samsung roms......
i searched the forum, couldnt find any help, and help is what i need now, serious help!
exactly the same problem.
press
vol+ key,home key and power button together to go to recovery mode??
1. Are you wiping data/cache etc when flashing new ROM to prevent bootloops?
2. If you get stuck at the triangle, have you tried pulling the battery (or hold power button until phone switches off) then use Vol UP - Power - Home, key combo to get into recovery?
So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
I tried to flash a new rom, after wiping the data of my previus I noticed I haven't moved it into the external SD so I restared the mobile in order to move the .zip file.
At the point where you set a google account I tried to rush it though but at one point the phone restarted and from that moment on it always gets stuck in boot screen.I use the Omega rom.
How can I boot into CMW with "hotkeys" at the beggining of booting (Samsung logo)?
Things I tried:
Removing the batery for 1 min and restarting,
Almost all possible key combinations at the boot screen (Samsung boot) not the rom boot
CWM recovery
Hold down
Vol Up Button + Home Button + Power Button at first splash screen release buttons .

Normal 3-Button Combo should work. Maybe you have to be fast after insert the battery again.
If you can't go there, try to get into download mode a start a fresh install with odin or heimdall.

What is easier to use odin or heimdall?
ideally flash with odin to the T if your going to upgrade the rom to whatever you choose, it will do a full wipe for you bit of a pain losing your data but its really the only way of getting back up to scratch put it into download mode vol down - menu button + power button then an option will show press vol up and go from there be warned you must follow the odin instructions perfectly
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
Edit: I figured this out... I had to hold volume up and down at the same time while powering up. Also the phone needs to be unplugged. IF its plugged in it will go to Download mode instead of recovery.
Hello,
I recently Went from the stock ATT rom to CM 10.2, and then to Omni.
I can not access CWM recovery by powering the phone on while holding volume up... Ive also tried holding the soft home key.
The only way I can get into recovery is to open ROM manager and choose reboot to recovery. This scares me because if my rom goes haywire I may not have any way to get back into the recovery.
I have already tried re flashing CWM
any ideas?
Quick Boot
You can download the app "Quick Boot" from the Play Store, which has the option to reset into recovery (and many other options)
